“Management is thus what tradition used to call a ‘liberal art’: ‘liberal’ because it deals with the fundamentals of knowledge, self-knowledge, wisdom, and leadership; ‘art’ because it is practice and application. Managers draw on all the knowledge and insights of the humanities and the social science – on psychology and philosophy, on economics and on history, on the physical sciences and on ethics.”
Peter F. Drucker
